Cricket World Cup...As I see it...

There is a cup and there is a world,
There are teams and there are players...
There are legends and there are blotches...


Embarrassments and laurels,
Eccentricity rife with anticipation,
Passionate encounters, arguments and displays...


All want to win,
All want to rule and enjoy,
Who will best the others;
The odds will be whose to defy?


I cannot prognosticate,
For a believer I am,
My objectivity ruled by passion...
My eyes blurred by favouritism...


Multi-hued bearings,
Multi-faceted talent,
The cricketing world's waiting;
For one eleven to become a phoenix.....


Controversies abound,
Speculations thrive,
Opinions and judgements clash...
Mocking one and mocking all...


Patience is the key,
Forbearance is the opportunity,
And them, who take it...
Are the victors; despite experts' hoarse call...
